The "View Extras" menu is still listing the cover art files for all my movies (right-click one movie, get a list of all movies) or custom thumbnails for other video files.

Is the new over-the-air EPG feature ATSC-only? It says so in the options but the release notes seem to suggest otherwise. Also, MC crashes when I stop DVB-T playback (not when I change channels though). Sending log.

(NEW: features-bold reminder)

[RoderickGI]

Is the new over-the-air EPG feature ATSC-only?

It used to be ATSC only. DVB-T is being added now. But it is having a few teething problems, so it is very much a work in progress currently.

22.0.25 (9/12/2016)
5. NEW: Over-the-air (or in-stream) EPG scan for DVB tuners, getting data from EIT (event information tables).

.28 always returns error message when updating tags from library. Went back to .21, works.

[RD James]

There is a bug with drag-to-select in this build.
 
If you're dragging a selection and the mouse crosses over into another "panel" the selection box remains active as though you are holding the mouse button, it doesn't stop when released.

The installer goes crazy when I'm trying to update from .21. The window redraws rapidly and I have to kill the task.

I have deactivated my Antivirus and Eye Candy [Windowblinds] software and tried to install without using the update feature within MC with no success. I remember there was a similar problem a while back, but I can't find the thread anymore.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

Tobias

Uninstall your antivirus program to see if it helps.  Use another thread for discussion.

When changing tags in the grid and realizing that have mispelled or made some other error: pressing ESC key in this kind of situation used to cancel the changes currently being made but now it commits the change. Could this be fixed back? ESC used to cancel the changes which is also usual behaviour in other programs and in OS. Thanks

Since updating to some recent version of 22.0.xx (probably 22.0.28), tag embedding on M4A (Apple Lossless) always fails.

This did not happen on earlier versions of 22, and also still works fine on 21. Bug confirmed on two different computers (Win 10 64 bit).

The error message says "Media Center encountered errors while tagging or moving files. Check that the file exist, are not read-only, and are not in use by other programs."

I tried different folder locations, permissions, etc, but all give the same message.
Everything else (e.g. MP3, FLAC, AIFF) embeds tags fine, except for M4A.
Same M4A file has no issues embedding tags using other programs such as iTunes, dbpoweramp, mp3tag, etc.
